For $6 at Trader Joe’s, there’s great value here. Plenty of the hallmark Provençal rosé flavors with nice lift. Nothing in the least fancy, but as a summer quaffer, we’re big fans. With the rosé world on the lower end being such a disappointment the last few years, we’re fine just grabbing this.
Had with April Bloomfield lamb burgers, sheep feta, and cumin mayo. Happy stuff.

Pleasant. But never wandering out of that. Lovely nose of chocolate, smoke, berries and earth. On the palate though, it didn't make me want to reach for it with any compulsion or anticipation. Pleasant quaffer and decent QPR, but didn't excite. Still a touch young.
Had with flap meat, red churrasco, and spinach/sweet potato empanadas. ($14 - Vin)

We could drink buckets of this. After having it at Standard Pizza in Berlin a couple of years ago, it's been a house love, when we can find it. Oodles of acid, fleshy fruits, touch of minerality...but it's really about the sunny refreshment in the glass here. Puckers and pops. Slides right into the Gavi and pecorino wine world of Italian white wines that love orecchiette with sausage and rapini, a twice a month thing for us. Swapped out the sausage for leftover roast chicken and it played in the same delicious, satisfying realms. ($11 - Eataly)
